Three months ago, Michael Herron made headlines when he took the CEO role at Atos UK&I during one of the most turbulent periods in the company's history. Now, he's back for another "View from the Top" conversation with a notably different energy - more confident, more bullish, and armed with concrete evidence that his transformation strategy is gaining real momentum.
In this compelling follow-up conversation, TechMarketView's Chief Analyst Georgina O'Toole sits down with Herron to dissect his first 100+ working days at the helm, exploring both the victories worth celebrating and the challenges that tested his resolve. Rather than the usual corporate summary, this is a candid assessment of leadership decisions during a difficult period and the first encouraging signs that the transformation strategy is gaining traction.
What's changed since March? Herron points to significant contract wins across government and enterprise clients, a cultural shift that's becoming tangible across the organisation, and the rollout of Atos's ambitious "Genesis" strategy that promises to reshape how the company competes in the UK&I market.
But he doesn't shy away from the difficulties either. From restructuring decisions that balanced commercial necessity with his people-first philosophy, to building credibility in a market that had written off Atos's prospects, Herron offers unusually frank insights into the realities of corporate transformation.
The conversation explores his "Future is Here" value proposition, strategic investments in sovereignty and AI capabilities, and why he's now setting even more ambitious targets for the business. Perhaps most revealing is Herron's personal approach to leadership, including his commitment to keep running with
Atos colleagues as a way of staying connected to the organisation he's working to transform.
This follow-up episode captures a pivotal moment in a high-stakes turnaround story, offering valuable lessons for any leader navigating complex organisational change.
